8 Free Online Resources for Physics

1. Glenbrook South Physics Homepage gives set of instructional pages written in an easy-to-understand language and complemented by graphics and Check Your Understanding sections. An ideal starting location for those grasping for understanding or searching for answers. The "Physics classroom" link takes you to the actual courseware. The topics covered include Newton's Laws, Kinematics, Vectors-Motion and Forces in Two Dimensions, Momentum and its conservation, Work energy and power, Circular motion, satellite motion, Waves (Sound and Light), Optic studies (reflection, refraction), Electricity etc. Though the coverage is limited, the dearth is more than made up by depth. The chapters are further divided into sections which are spread across many lessons and pages, thus contributing to the lucidity and ease of learning. There are plenty of images, animations and examples to make the explanation more vivid. The concepts are followed by a quick review and also a case study applying the concept to situations in real life. The " Projects corner" is another link that contains project ideas. Students and learners can use the procedure on executing an experiment described here. The absence of ads makes browsing throgh the site a pleasent experience The site can be downloaded en masse with a web site extractor for convenient browsing offline.
